Adventure touring of most types is available in Thailand because of the country's diverse geography. From mountains in the North and Northeast to the beaches and islands of the South, Thailand offers a diverse array of activities. Whether engaging tour operators or going it alone, you can enjoy rock climbing one day and paddling a sea kayak the next.

Bicycling Observing life from the saddle of a good bicycle is a great way to spend a holiday in Thailand. Either cruising the suburbs or hammering down a mountain trail, bicycling gives one a different view of Thailand.
Canoeing Paddle a kayak across a turquoise sea to find the hidden beauty of a sea cave or grotto. Or glide your canoe along the quiet waters of a National Park while watching hornbills and monkeys.
Motorcycling Whether you are interested in quiet birding areas, visiting hill tribe villages or the exhilaration of winding mountain roads of Northern Thailand.
River Rafting Spend a day or two on a bamboo raft floating down the Mae Kok from Thatorn to Chiangrai. Or try an adrenalin churning white water thrill. Thailand has rafting for most tastes.
Rock Climbing in Thailand starts at Railae near Krabi town but new destinations and routes are continually being developed. Word is that Chiangmai and Khao Yoi are developing and that a lot of Koh Phi Phi is being re-bolted. Mae Hong Son and Lang Sak also have challenging climbs.
Scuba Diving is one of Thailand's more popular adventures ... and for good reason. With tropical islands, beautiful coral reefs, a vast array of undersea life and reasonable prices, Thailand works for divers of all experience levels. For information on dive spots, PADI schools and liveaboards.
